Polyaspartic Coatings
in North Kamloops, BC
Fast-cure, UV-stable, and engineered for BC Interior climate extremes.
Polyaspartic coatings are a class of aliphatic polyurea compounds that cure significantly faster than traditional epoxy — 2–4 hours at 15°C versus the 12–24 hours of standard epoxy systems — while offering superior UV stability and cold-temperature flexibility. They're our default topcoat choice on all residential garage floors and are increasingly used as complete single-coat or dual-coat systems on commercial floors where rapid return to service is required. UV-stable means they stay clear and colour-fast under direct sunlight without chalking or yellowing — critical in Kamloops's high-UV interior climate.
Polyaspartic Coatings in North Kamloops: what you need to know
Polyaspartic coatings in North Kamloops work well as topcoats over properly prepped epoxy base systems — the fast cure and UV stability are standard benefits, and the cold-temperature flexibility is particularly relevant on the north shore.
Properties and context in North Kamloops
Older residential neighbourhood with heritage-era homes, 1960s–70s builds, and newer infills on smaller lots. A mix of small commercial and light industrial properties along the main corridors. Compact lots with attached or detached single-car garages are typical.
North Kamloops is a tight-knit community with a long history in the city, and it's been undergoing a quiet renewal with newer infill homes alongside original long-term residents. There's a strong community identity here.
Concrete conditions in North Kamloops
North Kamloops has some of the oldest residential concrete in the city. Hairline cracking from foundation settlement is common, and many slabs show surface laitance — the weak carbonated top layer that forms on older concrete and prevents coating adhesion unless properly ground away. We always grind back to solid concrete in this neighbourhood, not just clean the surface.
Climate and floor performance in North Kamloops
North Kamloops sees cold winters, river valley humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, some wind exposure from the Thompson canyon. We spec epoxy and polyaspartic systems for this area with the local conditions in mind — UV stability, thermal flexibility, and moisture management are all part of our system selection process, not afterthoughts. A coating system that performs well in a temperate climate and a properly spec'd system for the BC Interior are not the same product, even if they look similar on the day of install.

How a Polyaspartic Coatings install works in North Kamloops
Application temperature check
Polyaspartic coatings are temperature-sensitive — application works between 5°C and 35°C, and cure rate changes significantly with temperature. We schedule installs for appropriate conditions and heat the space if necessary in cold weather.
Surface prep
Same diamond-grinding prep as epoxy — CSP 3–4 for most residential and commercial applications. Moisture testing, crack repair, and slab prep are identical to an epoxy system.
Coating application
Polyaspartic coatings have a shorter working time than epoxy — application requires speed and skill. We don't let new applicators run polyaspartic systems on client floors.
Fast cure and return to service
Light traffic in 2–4 hours. Vehicles in 12–24 hours. Full chemical resistance at 72 hours. The fast cure is particularly valuable for commercial installs where downtime is expensive.
